Radiologic and Functional Analysis of Compensatory Lung Growth After Living-Donor Lobectomy.

Journal: The Annals of thoracic surgery
PMID: 29273322

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Whether compensatory lung growth occurs in adult humans is controversial. The aim of this study was to confirm compensatory lung growth by analyzing ipsilateral residual lung after lower lobectomy in living lung transplant donors with quantitative and qualitative computed tomography assessments.
